    quail chicks with fluid/air sac

    I currently have two quail chicks, about 1.5 weeks old with air sacs near the base of the neck and the shoulder, filled partially with some kind of fluid and air. I noticed it about a week ago, and I haven't touched them. They seem healthy as they're eating and drinking very well, but the sacs...

    Thank you all for the advices! The chick is basically back to normal and the curled toes has resolved itself. Right now it’s still trying to gain enough energy to walk.

    quail chick weak, toes curled and cannot walk

    update! the chick is more energetic now (its actually trying to walk, it cant of course because of the toes). I gave it some egg yolk and sugar water, but i dont have access to any nutri drench. its eating and drinking on its own now (or at least trying to, they have access to food and water).

    quail chick weak, toes curled and cannot walk

    thanks guys, should i give him the nutri drench first then treat the curled toes? and is it a concern if he/she doesnt start eating soon.

    Quail has been scalped

    Update: He is eating and drinking, and being good. But i still think he is uncomfortable because he is scratching at the area around his wound. Also I found some ants in his little cage, so I had to move him to another one. But overall, i think he is doing good! He is back to his sleepy, grumpy...

    Quail has been scalped

    Just a quick question, my quail is looking good but i noticed that he is sometimes just standing there with his eyes closed. Is this trauma or anything of that sort? Or is it normal for a quail that is recovering. Also, how do I tell if he has an infection? Thanks

    Quail has been scalped

    Update on my quail: He is doing good, eating and drinking well. He is walking around a little bit, I will put him outside soon when it is warmer (about 80-85 deg.

    Quail has been scalped

    there is a super aggressive male that always picked on him. I found him on top of a little shelter I built for them. I dont really know why that quail was the only one the aggressive guy picked on, but I have separated them.

    Quail has been scalped

    Thanks! I have already treated for shock, and it seemed like he was out of shock as of yesterday evening. (i found him yesterday morning like this). I placed him out in the sun (it is currently low 80s) with a cover on the cage. I want to bring him inside but parents wont allow me to. I think it...

    Quail bleeding feathers/ feather loss

    probably an aggressive male. Sit maybe 10-20 feet away from where they are and observe which ones are aggressive. Also, if some hens have some hair missing from their head, it is most likely a male that is trying to mate. Otherwise, it might be mites or lice. But observe their behavior.
